The story of the Ēcorces series: “I was hiking in Australia the first time I observed the bark of an Eucalyptus tree and that literally opened my eyes to a world that was completely unknown to me. It was a revelation and I wanted to create something with it since then. It took me 13 years to have the perfect opportunity to incorporate tree barks in my compositions; With locals artists, we organized a Pop Up Art event and had to create a one of a kind Christmas tree. At the times, I had never approached any 3 dimensional medium so it was a real challenge. I conceived a mobile tree. The base representing the trunk imitates the Florida slash Pine, with the texture. I loved so much working with texture and imitating tree barks that I made it the focused point of the series “Écorces” and “Lichens”. That was the beginning of my exploration of the abstract patterns of nature theme and the use of mixed media.”
